I do not "brainrot". I brainferment so my brain will become even smoother and even more potent than before in its smoothness.

Look at you posers, having to bang dragons or sell your soul for magic when you could just play a lute for some. Anyways, here's Wonderwall. - Bards
Alright everyone, here's the basic NS guide. You can yell at me about it later if you think it looks ugly but yolo. Also, I encourage people to make it personal by playing around with formatting and stuff. Don't half ass it either, I hate people who half ass a CS or NS.
Again, try to make it humorous, we aren't trying too be serious here m8s. That said, I will still be judging them as I would for a serious NRP just with a rubric.
I'll get an actual OOC up soon™

"Some people say being a Dreamer is better than being Realist, just remember that Realists are the people who make dreams come true." ~Hayden Anderson
Name
Hayden Shiri Anderson
Nicknames
Anderson is his preferred alias as he finds Hayden a bit too feminine for his liking. Calling him by his middle name is a sure fire way to piss him off as he feels its reserved for family only and it sounds too much like "Sherry" when english-speakers say it.
Age
29
Gender
Male
Sexual Orientation
Heterosexual
Occupation
Props Master
Appearance
Anderson is most characterized by his resting, seemingly uncaring bitch face. That said, he does have a dashing smile that he shows every few blue moons. He's a tall man at about 6' 2" with an average built and has always looked young for his age.
His eyes are a dark coffee brown, already having stress lines and dark under eyes if you look close enough, and his black hair is slick due to either hair spray or gel. If he didn't take the time to "tame" it in the morning, chances are he'd look like an anime character. He does shave a lot as his facial hair can grow quite rapidly and thus he often experiments with different facial hair styles at a whim. Right now however, he's clean shaved.
The other major part to note about him is his hands, rough and dirty from his job of constantly making things (and his nail biting habits). No matter how well he cleans them, they will always have traces of dirt or oil or something. Despite how often he is hunched over something, his back is always straight up like a drill sergeant's.
Clothing wise, he favors working clothes or formal or something in between. Jeans and fancy vests are his favorite items though.
"If I cared about your excuses, I'd write a book about it and make it into my own damn movie."
Personality
Perhaps the most prevalent thing about Anderson is his snark, now in varying shades of mockery, sarcasm, annoyance, bluntness and indifference. He's a very down to earth and pragmatic man with a strong and dedicated work ethic but that doesn't stop him from chewing the hell out of people, even his superiors can only have such an amount of control over his snark.
To the people he opens up to, Anderson's snark has more of a humorous side and his willingness to help them personally increases. However, he absolutely refuses to be connected to "special snow flakes". That isn't to say he'll sneakily help them in some way, but it means he just won't talk to them and point out their flaws more often.
Job wise, he's very stubborn, once he has an idea on how something should be made or handled, he will stick by it. This is a sort of double edged sword where on one hand, the things he uses and makes are of exceptional quality, and in the other, he tends to ignore deadlines and pre-set budgets. And because he puts so much effort and time into the stuff he makes, he hates seeing it destroyed. Thus, its not far fetched to see that Anderson doesn't hold the pyrotechnics people in the highest regards.

History
Anderson was born to rural country girl and a city kid, his parents meeting in college. For as long as he knew, his mother had been a chemical researcher while his father had been a dentist. One would say here that it would make little sense on how Anderson would have acquired his skills set from this, but it was actually his Grandfather who taught him handicrafts and otherwise blue collar work (and his attitude).
Never the amazing student, Anderson gravitated towards the nerds who'd put models together and paint them or the robotics geeks who'd obsessed about making sure every screw was right and re-checked lines of code twenty times over. Getting into wargaming himself, he saved up pocket and job money to get into it, taking the time to hand paint and decorate his little models with custom creations which got more complex and elaborate as time went on.
His first experience with the fine arts came late in his high school career when he decided to join the props and scenery crew of the school theater club. Within his first show, he had become de facto leader of the crew after rather viciously chewing out the actual leader and out doing him by making half the things needed on his own. Impressive to say the least, he'd gotten himself a permeant standing as leader of said crew until he graduated.
After graduating college, he began to search for work, doing various odd jobs to stay alive. Despite his skill at producing props and scenery, his lack of finer points of social conduct made getting said jobs a lot harder. It didn't help that he was young and lack contacts within the industry to help him. After working on small films, Anderson's true break out into the industry might just be now.
Why did you decide to work for this movie?
He needs money and a break out role to prove that he didn't just waste his life going after an other wise worthless talent.

The main character is the one in the prophecies and trains extensively to defeat him... only to be banished to Earth right before the fight. With no way back to his home, he's forced to get used to living on Earth despite being trained and raised as a great hero.
- Twin Souls: Moonlit Dawn - The main character discovers that they are the magical clone of the villain who attempts to resurrect an ancient beast that could destroy the world.

Well, the idea was that most nations completely ignored the Doyists. They haven't done much outside of establish churchs, convert unbelievers and preach about changing the world for the better through peaceful legistration.
^ This actually makes them a threat to Fuso tho PURGE THE HEATHENS
For the sword, I was thinking of something like a Progressive Knife from NGE but wasn't sure on how balanced it'd be. As for the Age, I bumped it up a little. The reason she started at 16 is partial due to a "trial by fire" tradition in her family. They are supposed to be good after training for most their lives and if they can't survive on their own as Ronin then they failed the family. Holy shit that sounds Asian af xd
As for the other stuff, I'll get to you after the edits
Here it is! Might have screwed up some math but it should be fine.
Name:
Orihime Taiyoka
Age:
26
Gender:
Female
Nationality:
Japanese
Alias:
Carnival
Psychological Analysis:
Orihime is calm and collected, or she should be at least. Although her training should have made her calm and cool, her natural hot-headedness and head-strong attitude often counter acts it. Her height and appearance is no measure of her actual self with remarks about it generally leading to bad things. While she does try to remain true to her teachings by holding herself to a high moral standard, she's had better luck at other things. One major thing she lacks is subtly; even though she wears lighter armors, she doesn't carry any form of cloaking device believing that a hiding is a cowardly act and some things can only be solved with a good brawl. It goes without saying that this level of subtly (or lack of) means that its not the best idea to get her rilled up or be around her when she's angry as she's prone to punch things at that stage.
One interesting point that should be mentioned is Orihime's seemingly her lack of confidence in herself as a Ronin, never actually having called herself that. She always thinks that what she does pales in comparison to what her brother Nosu can do and what her father, the famous Ronin Ota, could do. Despite her skill, she still believes her abilities are but a shadow of their's.
Employment Record:
Orihime's family is no stranger to the streets and alleys of the underworld, her father an infamously successful ronin and her mother a prostitute-turned Ronin. And with their grandparents and grand parents bfeore that, nne could say its a family business. In large part, they were affiliated with a Yakuza Clan known as the Saiyotama Syndicate who ran the surface organization of Pixel Dream Entertainment Corp. Although most often working for the Saiyotama, the family was free to pursue other Ronin activities as long as it didn't harm the clan.
From her youth, the daughter of the Taiyoka bloodline was taught exclusively in the ways of the sword. A traditional, if not conservative move on her father's part but it was part of his ideology that the gun takes away from the skill and abilities of a Ronin. As thus, swordsmanship was drilled into the heads of Orihime and her brother for a very long time. However, her brother, Nosu, always managed to one up Orihime's fiery passion in trying to out do him which ultimately culminated into Nosu beating the absolute crap out of her in a fight and racking up his 100th straight win against her and Orihime realizing that she could never beat her brother in a duel, at least in her mind. Even though later on she racked up an impressive number of contracts, kills and even won against her brother in training duels, she never felt like his equal.
Once she was 18, she was let into Neo-Japan proper, no guidance and only her training and a generous gift of 50k credits, given to her by the Saiyotama Syndicate, under her name. A few years later, she'd already cemented herself as a worthy Ronin of the Taiyoka family and the clan even though she still thought of herself unworthy of the title of Ronin. Then, when she was 21, her father had been killed in a fight with another Ronin who shot him six times in the chest. In a fit of rage, Orimhime hunted down this Ronin who went under the handle of Temple. Killing him by stabbing Temple in his sleep, Orihime took his gun as a trophy but would eventually go on to incorporate it into her fighting style.
Now, looking for more work, she decided to join up with a team who promised good pay and offered to help with the itch for fighting Orihime was wanting recently and now has racked up six months with them under her belt.
Enhancements:
B-Grade Cyber Legs (x2), 10,000Cr - High grade that move faster than normal legs and boast internal springs that let Orihime jump higher and further which supplements her highly mobile fighting style.
C-Grade Auto Filtering Respirator 2,500Cr - An artificial set of lungs that work better than an organic lung.
A-Grade Cyber Optic, 10,000Cr - Custom military-grade recital cybereye that has a 20x magnification, night vision, a variety of camera settings and can even mark targets for Orihime. But perhaps what Orihime calls the "limi breaker" is its ability to see the where firearms at aiming at her with the use of a Linear Targeting Matrix (basically a line from the barrel of the gun to where the bullet would land that only she can see). Also resistant to EMP and comes in 20 different colors, now including rainbow and colorblind.
Equipment:
B-Grade RK5-S Pistol, 1,000Cr - A slightly modified version of the semi-automatic RK5 pistol used by corp-sec and lower ranking military members, the RK5-S chambers a slightly larger round and fires in three round bursts.
Type 40 Energy Blade "Liberation", 5,000Cr - A blade with a jacket of energy around it, cuts better as it doesn't use the force of the blade alone to slice. Orihime calls it Liberation since she thinks it sounds cool.
Built in Blades "Circus" (x2), 5,00Cr - Hidden in the heel of Orihime's cyberlegs, these pair of extenable blades are sharp and lightweight, perfect for Orihime's fighting style even when unarmed.
Civilian Grade Armor, 250Cr - Basically Orihime's entire wardrobe. She doesn't wear any of the actual armor sets since she tends to think that anything heavier than what she wears will only slow her down.
Armored Coat, 2,000Cr - A longcoat made of ballistic and nanofiber weave, its very durable and surprisingly warm. Orihime actually uses the coat as a blanket if the weather permits.
Armor Supplements (x3), 3,000Cr - Five custom fit pieces of alloy plating that give Orihime additional protection without sacrificing her speed. She has a pieces for her forearms and chest. These are kept in meticulous order and constantly polished by Orihime.
Jetmatic Personal Transport Unit, 10,000Cr - Built into her legs, Orihime's JPTU's are more like jump jets, giving short but powerful bursts of speed that Orihime uses to run, dodge and do acrobatics that are key to her fighting style.
Forged IDENT Card, 250Cr - Self explanatory, the card marks Orihime as Ryukyu Matoi.
E-Nades (x2), 500Cr - Explosive Neutralizing Anti-Personnel Device. A small cylinder packed with explosives, capable of causing injury or incapacitation to individuals within a 10 yard radius.
PharmaCon Medical Gel (x2), 500Cr - PharmaCon multipurpose medical gel. Useful for most injuries, and comes with a painkilling salve. Applied directly to injury or applied into Body Armor-medical ports to be automatically distributed.
If you have your heart set on it, I'm sure there's room for two :)
Not trying to offend anyone here, but I've only ever see one stunt coordinator in movie credits, how would two work since its not like CGI or props where you need a lot of people.
